2HDM - B
Foundational Two-Dimensional Hydraulic Modeling of Rivers at Highway Encroachments (2DHM) training. It is designed to provide participants with the skills needed to process and apply LiDAR and other elevation data formats in defining terrain geometry for two-dimensional hydraulic models.
Using the Surface-water Modeling System (SMS), a graphical pre- and post-processor developed by Aquaveo, participants will learn to identify and address potential issues in elevation data, modify geometry for simulations, and integrate terrain information into hydraulic modeling workflows. The course also covers importing data from multiple sources, merging datasets, and exporting terrain in formats compatible with widely used GIS and CAD software. Limited spots available.
- Dates: February 2 - February 4, 2026
- Times: 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
